Scouting Report: Paul Witt
Chicago Cubs | C
Overall
Summary
Bobby Witt Jr. is performing at an MVP-caliber level for the Kansas City Royals. After a slow start to the season (.254 AVG, 0 HR before April 16), Witt has been scorching hot since mid-April, posting a .337 AVG with 5 HR and a 171 wRC+ in 105 PA. He was named AL Player of the Week after collecting 11 hits in 7 games with a .407 AVG, .448 OBP, .815 SLG, and 3 HR. Currently on a 5-game hitting streak with a 16-game on-base streak. Defensively, he's been near-perfect with 7 Defensive Runs Saved (2nd among shortstops) and only 2 Misplays & Errors through May. Season stats: .302 AVG, .358 OBP, .434 SLG, 3 HR, 16 RBI, 15 R, 11 SB, 2.8 bWAR (tied for MLB lead among position players). The main concern is the Royals' overall team performance - they've lost 7 of his last 10 games despite his individual excellence.
